Harold Visit 2014

On a beautiful sunny and windy Wednesday room 6 went to Harold to learn about some stuff like a food pyramid and food diet. Harold told us 1 funny joke about toilet paper that rolled down the hill because it wanted to get to the bottom (the one that's attached to you).

Clay Sculptures

Clay Sculpture day finally arrived yesterday for Room 6! We have been excited about this since Miss Brown told us last week. 

Everyone in Room 6 went over to Rose's shed after morning tea to make a clay bowl and a clay lizard. We had to put on art shirts so our uniforms didn't get dirty.

Miss Brown let us play around with the clay first and we got to explore all the tools that we could use later on to help us make our clay creations.

After that we got to make our clay bowls, we had to pinch the clay to help make the sides. Some of us made them into nests and we put eggs inside them.

Then we made our lizards. Some of us found it really tricky to make all the different body parts that a lizard needs so we all helped each other out. 

Check out the photos of us making our clay creations, we hope you enjoy them! 

We even helped Miss Brown clean up! 

Wow cool lizards and bowls! 

Look at our final products! 

Domain Visit

Yesterday half of Hampstead School went down to the Domain to look at the Sculpture Symposium. We got to look around at what the sculptors were creating, play on the playground and do a scavenger hunt around the Domain.

We all piled onto buses at morning tea time and headed down to the Domain. When we got there we split into small groups and some of us went to see the sculptures and some went to the playground, then we swapped over.

When we saw the sculptures we thought they were amazing! Some of the sculptors talked to us about their work and one man even let us use some of his tools!! 

Our scavenger hunt was awesome! We walked around the WHOLE Domain... well it felt like we did! 

We got to eat lunch and then some of us went with Miss Brown and some of the parent helpers to go to the big flying fox! 

We had an awesome day!! 

Thanks again to our parent helpers for coming along :) 

Rap-unzel Show

We have had a very busy start to the term here in Room 6... Athletics Day, Labour Day (yay a day off school) and the Playhouse Theatre came to present Rap-unzel to us.

It was really funny! There were heaps of characters and a girl lost her singing voice! A mean cow man took it from her and gave it to her ugly stepsister!! 

Miss Brown took heaps of photos and videos, have a look below and see what we saw. 

The characters of the play introducing themselves.

Rapunzel's audition, she was a good singer! 

Rapunzel's recording contract... she didn't like the sound of it! 

Simon Cow-ell stole Rapunzel's voice and locked her in a tower! 

It's the Prince of Rap! 

Rap-unzel escaped from the tower!!

Practising for Athletics

We have been practising Athletics skills with Mark from Sports Canterbury this term and the last 2 weeks of Term 3. 

We practised how to do long jump and high jump in Term 3 and then we learnt how to do shot put and discus.

Miss Brown captured some photos and videos of us doing the shot put and discus, it was really hard to push the shot put and not throw it!! 

Mark is showing us how to do shot put

And here are the kids in Room 6  giving it a go

Nice starting position everyone! 

Now we are trying out discus... Don't hit Miss Brown!! 

Student of the Week... Again!

Hampstead School loves to celebrate children who work hard and demonstrate our school values. 

Last week it was Miss Brown's turn to pick someone from Room 6 who she thought was a student that Hampstead School would be proud to have. 

She chose...


Josh!!! Well done Josh, Room 6 is very proud to have you as a member of our class. :) 

Congratulations Josh! 

What prizes did you get? 

Technology in Room 6

Last term Room 6 did a unit on Technology. We had to follow the design process to create a magnet that was interesting to look at and held up a single sheet of paper.

We had lots of fun making different designs. We all had to plan what our magnet would look like, then we had to make it out of salt dough, bake it, paint it and put a magnet on the back.

Then it was time to test it... some of them held up a piece of paper and some didn't but all stuck to Miss Brown's whiteboard!! 

Check out what our magnets looked like in the pictures below...
